I haven't watched the 1975 movie with Jack Nicholson yet, but reading "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was an interesting experience.

The story feels like an allegory for the clash between individual freedom and authoritarian control. Randle McMurphy, the protagonist, constantly challenges the oppressive rules of the mental institution, led by Nurse Ratched.

The line between what’s real and what’s influenced by McMurphy's mental state is often blurred, so it wasn't always clear to me what was really going on. The story reminded me of the power dynamics in stories like "The Green Mile" and "The Shawshank Redemption."

I'm curious to see how the movie portrays this struggle, especially since Ken Kesey, the author, was apparently not pleased with the film adaptation.
